1. Printer Settings (15 ppm copier)

IMPORTANT! All setting items and the selection of their actual settings are accomplished in this machine based on a maximum 3-digit entry system. Refer

to “1-2 List of settings” on page 1-3 for information regarding the various items as well as their corresponding menu numbers and available settings.

1-1 Procedure for making settings

Press the Printer key. The machine will switch to the printer mode and “P00” will appear in the copy quality/magnification display.

Use the numeric keys to enter the desired menu number and then press the Enter key.

Use the “▲” and “▼” keys to scroll through the menu numbers one number at a time. (Any menu number that does not have a corresponding setting item will be skipped and the next viable menu number that DOES have an available setting will be displayed.)

Select the desired setting.

Note Settings are normally changed by using the “▲” and “▼” keys to select a value (or the

number that corresponds to the desired setting) and then pressing the Enter key. When it is necessary to type in a value or number directly (such as with a network address or the time, etc.), use the numeric keys to enter the desired information and then press the Enter key. (When you enter a network address it necessary to press the Enter key after each block of 3 digits.)

Press the Printer key again to switch back to the copier mode.

3. Memory Card / RAM Disk

3-1 Memory Card

This machine comes equipped with a slot for inserting a Memory Card. Use a Memory Card that contains fonts in order to print with fonts other than those already installed in the machine, or use the card to save and then read print data.

Inserting the Memory Card

Insert the Memory Card into the slot carefully with the front of the card facing the rear of the machine. IMPORTANT!

BE SURE to turn the main switch OFF (O) BEFORE inserting or removing the Memory Card.

* The Memory Card is managed through printer control commands received from your computer. Ref er to “3-3 Printer control commands” on

page 3-2.

* In 20 ppm copiers, the Memory Card is managed from the operation panel on the copier itself. Refer to “2. Printer Settings (20 ppm copier)”

on page 2-1 for information on the appropriate procedure.

3-2 RAM Disk

In this machine, it is possible to create a RAM Disk, or a portion of memory that is used as a virtual disk. By creating a RAM Disk of a desired size from among the total memory in the printer, it is possible to perform electronic sorting (which shortens the overall time required for printing) as well as to save data to and retrieve data from that disk very quickly. Additional memory (option) must be installed before a RAM Disk can be created.

IMPORTANT!

The RAM Disk is created from that portion of the printer’s memory that is normally available to the user. Thus, if the size of the RAM disk created is too large, printing speed may actually be decreased or the machine may run out of available memory. WARNING: Resetting the printer or turning the main switch OFF (O) will erase all data written to the RAM Disk.

The factory default setting for the RAM Disk is “OFF” . In order to create a RAM Disk it is necessary to change the setting on the operation panel of the copier itself. Refer to “2. Printer Settings (20 ppm copier)” on page 2-1, or “1. Printer Settings (15 ppm copier)” on page 1-1, as appropriate to your machine, for information on the appropriate procedure.

* The RAM Disk can be used for saving and reading print data. * Saving and reading data on the RAM Disk is managed through printer control commands received from your computer. Refer to “3-3

Printer control commands” on page 3-2.

* In 20 ppm copiers, the RAM Disk is managed from the operation panel on the copier itself. Refer to “2. Printer Settings (20 ppm copier)” on

page 2-1 for information on the appropriate procedure.

3.Memory Card / RAM Disk

3-3 Printer control commands

It is possible to issue simple commands to the Memory Card and RAM Disk from the MS-DOS Prompt in Windows.

3-3-1 Using printer control commands

A printer control command line includes “!R!” (Command operation start), as well the actual commands and parameters that are to be implemented and that are entered after that. The basic configuration of a printer control command line is as follows:

[Example] To delete the print data entitled “SAMPLE.txt” from the Memory Card

ECHO !R! RWER D,A,2,“SAMPLE.txt”; EXIT;>LPT1

AB C D E F

A: DOS command B: Command operation start C: Command (“RWER D” is the command to delete data) D: Parameters (“A” refers to the Memory Card, “2” refers to the type of data [in this case print data] and “SAMPLE.txt” is the name of the

corresponding partition) E: Command operation end F: Printer connection port (Network: “PRN”, Local: “LPT1”, etc.)

CAUTIONS

• When issuing DOS commands in the Japanese input mode, ALWAYS use JIS ASCII (JIS C6220) characters. Kanji Code and Kanji Half-

Space Code input will not work.

• Enter all commands in uppercase (capital) letters.

• Be sure to enter a semi-colon (;) at the end of each standard command [shown as “C” in the example above] (or after the corresponding

parameter, if included), and separate each individual parameter with a comma (,).

• Be sure to enter a space before and after the “!R!” command, as well as before “EXIT;”.

3. Memory Card / RAM Disk

3-3-2 Formatting the Memory Card

Perform the following procedure when you want to initialize the Memory Card from your computer. * In 20 ppm copiers, the Memory Card is initialized from the operation panel on the copier itself. Refer to “2. Printer Settings (20 ppm copier)”

on page 2-1 for information on the appropriate procedure.

IMPORTANT! WARNING;: Initializing the Memory Card will erase all data in the card. Make sure that you want to initialize that Memory Card before

starting the procedure.

Procedure

1 Insert the Memory Card that you want to initialize into the Memory Card slot.

2 Open an MS-DOS Prompt in Windows.

3 Type in the command to format the Memory Card and then press the ENTER key.

C:\WINDOWS>ECHO !R! RWER F,A; EXIT;>LPT1

4 Once the Memory Card is formatted, the “FORMAT INFORMATION” report will be printed out.

3-3-3 Writing print data

Perform the following procedure when you want to write print data to a Memory Card or RAM Disk from your computer. * In 20 ppm copiers, print data commands are entered from the operation panel on the copier itself. Refer to “2. Printer Settings (20 ppm

copier)” on page 2-1 for information on the appropriate procedure.

* Verify beforehand that the Memory Card is in a write-enabled state and that the RAM Disk is turned ON.

Procedure

1 Open an MS-DOS Prompt in Windows.

2 Type in the command to write data and then press the ENTER key.

[Example] To write the print data entitled “SAMPLE.txt” to a Memory Card * To write the data to a RAM Disk, simply change the “A” parameter to “0”.

C:\WINDOWS>ECHO !R! RWER W,A,2,“SAMPLE.txt”;>LPT1_

3 Send the print data from your computer.

C:\WINDOWS>COPY /b SAMPLE.txt LPT1

4 Once the print data is sent, the next command can be sent.

C:\WINDOWS>ECHO !R! WRED; EXIT;>LPT1_

5 Print out the Partition List to verify whether or not the data was written properly.

* Refer to “3-3-7 Printing out the Partition List” for information on printing that list. * In 20 ppm copiers, Partition List print out is accomplished from the operation panel on the copier itself. Refer to “2. Printer Settings (20

ppm copier)” on page 2-1 for information on the appropriate procedure.

3-3

3.Memory Card / RAM Disk

3-3-4 Writing font data

Perform the following procedure when you want to write font data to a Memory Card or RAM Disk from your computer. At the same time as the font data is written to disk, it will be sent to the printer as well. * Verify beforehand that the Memory Card is in a write-enabled state and that the RAM Disk is turned ON. * Only TrueType fonts can be written to the Memory Card or RAM Disk.

Procedure

1 Open an MS-DOS Prompt in Windows.

2 Type in the command to write data and then press the ENTER key.

[Example] To write the font data entitled “FONT1” to a Memory Card

C:\WINDOWS>ECHO !R! RWER S,A,0,”FONT1”,”FONT”,45040;>LPT1

12 3 4 5

NOTES

The parameters contained within the command line are as follows:

1: “A” refers to the Memory Card and “0” refers to the RAM Disk

2: “0” refers to a TrueType font, “1” refers to a Japanese TrueType font, “2” refers to a Japanese TrueType Collection font

3: File name

4: Font name

5: Font data length (binary data bytes)

3 Send the font data from your computer.
